On July 13, New Hampshire filed this brief in Day v New Hampshire Secretary of State, 1:26cv-499. This is the lawsuit filed by Aaron Day, an independent candidate for U.S. Senate, to get on the ballot. The Secretary of State had denied him because he had moved within New Hampshire and had not yet completed registering to vote at his new address. Day had cited three cases in which U.S. Courts of Appeals had ruled that states cannot even require congressional candidates to be registered voters, because states cannot add to the qualifications for Congress. The state’s brief doesn’t mention any of these cases.
